Interesting; but if you’ll recall, at the time, there was some degree of publicity as to well-armed “survivalist” groups who were seen as whacked-out race-war leftovers from Y2K, and, there was furthermore an association of these type groups with the Murrah bombing in OK city. Of course, the mention of “UN” in the group name (and I’ll bet most Americans still view the UN today as an entirely altruistic organization with lofty goals etc; etc) I say this because it’s sort an interesting thought as to how these groups were thought of at the time.
In the case of UC Berkeley studying conservative groups or conservatism, I have not the slightest doubt that this will take shape along Alinsky lines: Isolate & ridicule > discredit.
In the course of their “study”,
they’ll set the definition for “conservative”
and then show how those who fit the definition are
dumb and dangerous and should be locked up for the good of society.
